Charles Raymond Clements

Born in Cleveland, he was a resident of Grafton since 1981, and a United States Navy veteran, having served four years on the JFK Aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War. Chuck had been employed with Ford MotorCompany as a Pattern Maker, retiring in 2010.

He was a proud 32nd degree Mason, a member of the Knights Templar and El Rey Grotto. He enjoyed keeping busy woodworking and making toys for his children. He was exceptionally talented and creative.

is survived by his wife of 45 years Marilyn Clements (nee Pritchard); children Ashley (Brian) Hess, Brandon (Lindsay) Clements, Jordon Clements, Patti Clements (Daughter-in-Law), Chuck Clements, and Jessica Clements. He is forever loved by his grandchildren: Jason, Rachel, Natasha, Josh, Bellamy, Fletcher, Nolan, and Cooper; and great grandchildren: Ben, Caroline,Emma, and Sage.
